Perhaps because it is only needed by cgi scripts running under
Apache::Registry. It seems like modules written for modperl could run
the init just once.

How about another feature? Would there be a way to have this module
append configuration info when init is called by two separate
applications? That would allow Log4perl configurations to be kept with
their respective applications and yet run under the same logger. Or is
modifying the configuration of a running logger not suggested?

Thanks,
William
